Switchboard opening but covered on startup

As instructed by the book by Feddema and online, I went to Tools Startup,
and under Display Form/Page I chose Switchboard. It does open automatically,
but you don't see it until you uncover it; the top window is still another
form on startup. I don't want users to have to close a form to get at the
Switchboard. Why isn't the Switchboard on top? I've looked up several
similar questions here, and the solution was always what I just did.

Thanks,
Glen

Something else must be starting the other form. Go to Macros and see if you
have one named Autoexec. A macro by that name will run when the database
first starts. I bet that there is a form starting from it. You'll have to
decide how you want to handle it. You could just remove that line from the
macro if it does other things; delete the entire macro; or even add starting
your Switchboard from the macro after the other form.

Hey, thanks, that did it!
The macro only did that one thing, so I deleted it.
